Facts and practical information

Otter Falls is a waterfall in King County, Washington; on the southern wall of Mount Anderson. It drops about 1,600 feet in all, but due to the relatively moderate pitch of the mountainside, only about 1/3 of the total height can be seen from the ground. The drainage of Otter Creek, which feeds the falls, is fairly small, and consists mostly of granite which does not retain water. Therefore, the waterfall relies entirely on snowmelt to flow and often dries up by July. ()
